Hello,
I've installed virtualbox on windows 10 Pro and I have problem with mouse pointer. On screen there is normal cursor, but every time I go cross field where is possible to write text, numbers etc.. the cursor immediately change from
arrow to two black dots, which are even hard to see. Does anyone have solution for this? I googled a lot but didn't find solution
below some system info

Re: Problem with mouse pointer
We're going to need to see a VM log from a complete VM run:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Re: Problem with mouse pointer
Intel GPUs aren't actually known for their performance, or their bug-free implementation. That's where I believe the problem comes from. You might be able to get away with it if you disable 3D/2D acceleration, or a combination of sorts.00:00:02.927445 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR: Intel 00:00:02.927459 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_RENDERER: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 00:00:02.927464 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VERSION: 4.5.0 - Build 24.20.100.6168

Re: Problem with mouse pointer
Thanks for hint, but there is no change when I try all possibilities of turning on/off 2D/3D acceleration.
I'm still missing mouse pointer in text fields.

Re: Problem with mouse pointer
I've seen a similar problem here some months ago.
The problem disappeared after updating host and guest to the latest Windows updates.
For me it looked like some kind of bug/incompatibility between the different Windows levels when using a RDP connection.
